Bethesda has provided new information about the free DLC updates coming to Fallout 76 this year.

Year one of Fallout 76 was all about the opening of Vault 76 and players settling the Wasteland. In Year two, other humans are returning to reclaim Appalachia, as human NPCs are coming to Fallout 76. Wastelanders DLC introduces a new main quest with choices and consequences, and memorable characters with unique stories for you to interact with. This update is planned for launch in fall 2019.

Later, Nuclear Winter DLC arrives in Fallout 76, and this is the setting of Fallout 76’s new 52-player PvP mode. Nuclear Winter adds the battle royale mode to the game. From Perks and Nukes to Wild Appalachian creatures and C.A.M.P.s, Nuclear Winter promises a new take on the mode. Scavenge for weapons, supplies and nukes as you face off against your fellow players in the fight for the right to become the Overseer of Vault 51.
